Freezing problem

[Autokad]

hi all,

I'm working on a friends computer that freezes about 30 secounds after boot up,but then "unfreezes" after about 5 minutes (werid)
I have scaned countless times for spyware-viris,etc, and come up with nothing.
In safe mode however,the computer runs fine.

I've also checked the temps with Everest Home Ed,but it does not display
the temps for the cpu.And on top of that, the bios doesn't show the temps either!

Specs: xp pro sp2
384mb of ram
pIII 598mhz
25 gb hdd

Any help would be AWESOME!

THANKS

it is not overheating? hmmm wow ummmm have you checked device manager for and big yellow ! case to me it sonds like a driver issue or a process that takes al of the computers cpu loads up at that time i think you should look t the task manger and look for and proceses that take a lot of cpu or a new process that takes up 100% of the cpu also look for devices not working. hope that helps plz tell me what you see.

[Autokad]

Done that already.
ANd I don't know if it overheating or not,due that there is no way of telling!!!!!
(This is my first computer job,outside of my own computers that I work on btw)

[wera]

Done that already.

all of it wow hmm than i thik a driver or something hmmm this is hard.... have you defraged the main drive? or checked the grafix card and ram for overheating something else could be overheating than just the cpu.

[Autokad]

Yes I have drfraged the main drive
lol sry had to edit-

[wera]

next time post dont edit it helps us keep along . what i mean is have you replaced ram with diffrent ram and switched grafix card etc? and if so it really sounds like a process that is takeing a lot cpu.

[wera]

Yes I have drfraged the main drive

i know it is funny but a really bad nondefraged drive can do that .

[wera]

also have you simply tried uninstalling servace pack 2 as nobody needs that bloody piece of sh!t and if you want a firewall get zone alarm.EDIT: this is just a sujestion it proboley wont fix you'r problem

well first off,I don't think that it is the video card,or ram
simply because if it was over heating,it would freeze totaly,

I've had experience with that before.
so that leaves a process that's takeing up all the mem,or cpu,

but I don't think that is it either because I've used "tune up utilites 2006"
to see what's in the startup in windows and there is nothing.

Hate zone alram.

i don't know if i can help you WAIT does it happen when you are first loading the icons and etc when you boot into windows?

[Autokad]

Nope after it's all booted up,and you would think everthing is OK.
Then if freezes.

ok go to control panel click on administrative tools click on Services locate Messenger rigit click it and disable it then locate Indexing Service and disable it and stop it.

[Autokad]
